Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 129
[Chapter 129]
“Brother Prince, I am afraid that King Yan’s position in the heart of the father will become more important in this battle.”
“It goes without saying that the father is the best face. Save face.” The deposed prince Zhao Gang said, remembering something, he reminded the eighth prince next to him, “How many times have I told you, don’t call me prince in front of so many people.” The
eighth prince Zhao Zha scratched his head, with a look of shame on his face , “I’m sorry, Prince, I forgot again.”
Zhao Gang almost couldn’t get up when he heard this, so he didn’t speak at all.
Zhao Zha continued: “Fortunately, King Yan’s mother’s family is poor, otherwise I don’t know how many ministers would want to take credit for her.”
Zhao Gang’s eyes lit up slightly, he clapped his hands, and said with a smile: “Yes, although King Yan is standing Great merit, but no one in the court speaks for him, why don’t I ask for credit for him, so that he will remember my benefits.”
“Extremely, extremely.” The eighth prince said, “Anyway, the father will definitely reward you. For King Yan, why don’t we just push the boat along the way and help him, and it’s just a matter of talking.”
Zhao Gang nodded, and decided to play it by ear when it comes to the court meeting.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw the third prince walking towards his father.
He immediately pulled the Eighth Prince and followed him.
“Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father, under the guidance of my father, the ninth younger brother finally achieved a great victory, let me praise the prestige of the country.” The third prince Zhao Mu came to Zhao Heng and bowed.
When he was in the crowd, his uncle Dou Wei gave him a wink and motioned him to come over.
After understanding what his uncle meant, he immediately stepped forward to congratulate his father.
The arrival of many ministers and nobles greatly satisfied Zhao Heng’s vanity.
He stood in front of the prison car with his hands behind his back, waiting for their compliments.
Zhao Mu attributed all the credit for King Yan’s victory to him, which made him very proud.
He is right, King Yan is his son.
Isn’t King Yan’s victory his victory?
Thinking of this, he felt more and more at ease.
In the capital, the princes fought back and forth, and the things that happened every day made him upset.
After such a comparison, it was even more gratifying for him to come to King Yan who guarded the frontier for Dasong in Yanzhou.
Nodding his head, he said: “That’s right, King Yan is my son no matter what you say, and he is your younger brother. As a member of the royal family, you should work together to show my royal dignity.”
“Yes, father Emperor.” Zhao Mu looked respectful, “Not long ago, I sent people to Yan County to visit the ninth brother…”
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Gang suddenly squeezed over, “Father, I also sent people to After entering Yan County, as the elder brother, I have always cared for the younger brothers.”
Zhao Heng was in a particularly good mood today, if he had been in the past, he would definitely have stared at this useless prince.
After laughing twice, he said: “That’s right, the royal family is one, and with the king of Yan in Yanzhou, you can live in peace in the capital.” The
third prince and Zhao Gang nodded at the same time.
At this time, the officials gathered around and congratulated Zhao Heng one after another, and the voices of “Long live my emperor” were heard endlessly.
Zhao Heng was extremely proud.
Facing many ministers, he said: “Today is just for you to come to see the results of the battle in Yanzhou. Tomorrow morning, I will discuss with you about rewards.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The ministers said.
Now they have nothing more to say, Coutu has brought.
They could no longer find any other reason to block the reward to King Yan.
…
the vast grassland.
A pair of cavalry marched hard against the wind and snow.
Every October, the south is still in golden autumn, but there will be snowflakes in the north of the grassland.
With the expansion of Beidi’s territory, the bitter cold land on their territory became more and more extensive.
“Here we are, the Khan’s tent is in front of us.” The leading cavalryman looked at a tent in the vast white snow under the hill.
Raising their whips, they urged the horses to go to the camp.
“Who are you?”
Their appearance immediately aroused the vigilance of the outer cavalry.
A group of cavalry stepped forward and stopped them. After seeing the appearance of the cavalry, the leader of the cavalry who stopped him said: ” Enke
, why are you here?”
I have been captured, and I have to come to Khan Court to seek Khan’s help.”
“What, the Nine Kings were captured by Da Song?” The cavalry leader exclaimed, this is not a small matter, he said: “You and I Come on.”
Enke nodded, and followed the cavalry towards a golden tent.
After waiting a while outside the tent, he was allowed in.
“Great Khan.” Entering the tent, Enke saw a man in his fifties with a solemn face and falcon-like eyes sitting on a black bearskin.
He hurried forward and knelt down to kiss the man’s shoe. He was Khan Mule Hongzhen.
“Get up, my nephew Enke.” Mu Lehong really had suppressed anger on his face, “What happened after all? How did your father fall into the hands of the Dasong people.”
Enke then Said the matter of Qiushou in detail.
“Hmph, he’s always so arrogant. I used to tell him that he can belittle people, but he must not be arrogant when fighting. This is entirely his fault.”
Enke tried to make his voice calm so as not to offend Khan.
Although this khan was his father’s elder brother, he was his uncle.
But he is the untouchable Khan on the grassland.
Although the same blood flows from his body, he still has to be as respectful as a courtier.
“Father has already paid the price for his mistakes, but now that the Black Iron King Tent has lost its king, everyone’s heart is like a hanging stone.” Enke said.
He knew that his father’s capture was too embarrassing.
But he still wanted to save him as much as he could.
Mu Lehong really looked at Enke, and he said: “Even if he can come back from Dasong, he is not qualified to be a king. He will only be ridiculed by the people on the grassland. If he is not my brother, I will not go there at all.” Leave him alone.”
Enke lowered his head, and he could feel the Khan’s anger.
But Khan also promised him that he would save his father.
“You will be in charge of the Black Iron King Tent for the time being, Enke. Your bravery is also praised in the Khan Court. I hope you can wash away the shame of your father with the blood of the
Great Scholar.” Khan, I will not let you down, I will use the heads of Dasong people to build the highest altar on the grassland.” Enke said through gritted teeth.
He was extremely humiliated to learn that his father had been taken prisoner.
If it weren’t for his mother’s pleading, he would not have come to Khan Court to ask Khan for help.
In his opinion, honor is more important than anything, even his father should not live.
Mu Lehong nodded appreciatively, and the war to suppress the rebellion on the grassland was basically over.
The next step is to go south.
But he didn’t expect that an enemy from the far north attacked an important town northwest of Khan Court three months ago.
These enemies are called “man-eating demons” by the local spit people.
They plundered the tribe, and even ate the tribe’s people to satisfy their hunger.
In the past, only Beidi people ate Dasong people, and Beidi people were also eaten by others.
This incident forced him to shelve his plan to go south again.
However, this did not affect his threat to Emperor Dasong to return his younger brother.
